Works of the Divine Forge

Weapon Production / Private Guild

Guild Master: Archeon

Number of Members: 12

Mission
To create and maintain a guild filled solely with the best smiths in the world. By setting a max member limit of twelve, one smith specializing in each class, the guild members demand great respect. The guild's goal is to create weaponry and armor on par with Phantasmal-class items by being the forerunner with control of the items the guild outputs.

Bio
Masterworks is the term referring to the WDF member's weapon they crafted to gain entrance into the guild.

A member has pledged to never remake a commissioned weapon (including their masterwork), making any weapon a WDF member like no other in the world. This puts some of the WDF's commissions and most of its masterworks on par with Phantasmal-class weaponry.

There are larger, more wealthy, and mass producing international weapon production guilds in Elder Tale, however, due to its elite status of twelve members, one specializing in each class, the guild members are highly respected in their fields of work. Any Guild Master of a competing production guild yearns to one day gain entry into the guild.
